"Far from the Hyborian lands roamed by Conan, across the Western Ocean,
lies Mayapan. Here the Cult of the Jaguar selects, when the omens bid them
due so, a chosen protector of the people. Given the mask of Yagua (the Jaguar
Diety) in a secret ritual, the chosen one becomes the avatar of the god. The
mask becomes unremovable and the avatar is henceforth known as Yagua, and
is possessed of inhuman strength, agility, and battle-skill. This is the first
Yagua, atop one of the statues at a ritual site, cleared of jungle."
